I happen to think I am closer to truth than you.

But if you want to enlighten me as to something I might be missing, feel free to do so.

As it stands, you are just scoffing.
So what is the truth to you?

Please enlighten me.

That is what most people regard the bible as already.
You mean, most non-believers. Those who are lost and perishing
in their sins. Yes. Understandable, that the blind cannot see.
You fit in quite well with them.


I happen to think there may be some actual history to it
that might be with considering, like healing from a bad trauma.
I am not sure what the first part of what you say here has to do with the second part.
Of course there is real history worth considering in the Bible.
Your problem is that you do not accept it as written.


But you can feel free to keep fantasizing about unicorns and fairy tales and immaculate conceptions and all that stuff most people regard as hogwash
Hmmm. I do not fantasize about those things.
Seems your hypothesis is wrong once again.

Interesting that we find

Genesis 4:13-15


13 And Cain said to the Lord, “My punishment is greater than I can bear! 14 Surely You have driven me out this day from the face of the ground; I shall be hidden from Your face; I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond on the earth, and it will happen that anyone who finds me will kill me.”
15 And the Lord said to him, “Therefore, whoever kills Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold.” And the Lord set a mark on Cain, lest anyone finding him should kill him.

Do you believe the original writer(s) of the bible were being literal when they described the professions of Cain and Abel?

I happen to think the bible is an extremely shrouded book of stories about lost civilisations that had become developed, and were destroyed.

When civilizations develop, as you can observe today, they tend to divide into urban areas near the seas, and rural areas further in land

The rural areas would be where professional farmers and sheep herders operate. And the urban areas might be where the Lords of industry oversee the trafficking of goods throughout the market places.

It seems more reasonable to me, that Cain and Abel, both being in contact with the LORD, who oversees all industries, would not be rural farmers, but were instead urban captains of industry.

So then, it is a matter of figuring the riddle.

A group of sheep is a flock.
Similar to the word flock is fleet.
Today, transportation companies refer to their trucks as their fleet.
This could answer what Abel's profession was.

Tilling the earth sounds like it could be a man's perspective on sex.
So Cain sounds like he was a pimp.

So now a few questions arise.

What did it mean when Cain and Abel brought sacrifices to the LORD? Were these human sacrifices? Did the LORD kill and devour Cain's prostitute, and let Abel's product runner live?

After Cain killed Abel, and the LORD punished Cain, why was Cain unable to till the earth anymore?
It is apparent you have very little, if any, respect for GOD! or you know the answer.

This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but FailHamBunk loved darkness instead of light because his deeds were evil.

Hi Scoffing Troll,

Oh you don't fantasize about immaculate conceptions?

Does this mean you know Jesus' mother Mary had sex with the LORD God?

The immaculate conception is one of two ex cathedra dogmas dreamed up by the Roman Catholic church, which I stand staunchly opposed to. Your ignorance is such that you think it has to do with how Jesus was conceived, which it does not.

Cain dealt with crops,and Abel dealt with animals,plain and simple,and I doubt that they were great merchant men seeing they appear to be the first 2 children of Adam and Eve.

Animal sacrifices,blood,were necessary for the remission of sins in the Old Testament.

Abel sacrificed an animal,good to go,Cain sacrificed,or gave an offering of plant life,not good to go.

Gen 3:7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

Adam and Eve sinned,covered up their sin with fig leaves making themselves aprons,people's first attempt at religion that does not measure up to God's standard.

Gen 3:21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.

God said not so concerning the fig leaves apron,and made the first animal sacrifice,and fully clothed them.

The story of Cain has nothing to do with prostitutes,or he was a great merchant,for I doubt there were people abroad in great number,and structured to be doing business with them.

But when Cain went off when he received a mark he did build a city there and started populating.

Gen 3:20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.

Eve is the mother of all living which means all people came after Eve,so there could not be lost civilizations,and people abroad on the face of the planet,and it would have to be their children that would have to start nations,and civilizations after Adam and Eve,not before them.

And since it appears that Cain and Abel were the first 2 then what lost civilizations,and even if they were not the first 2 children,nobody was before Adam and Eve.

Gen 11:1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
Gen 11:2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
Gen 11:3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.
Gen 11:4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
Gen 11:5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
Gen 11:6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
Gen 11:7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
Gen 11:8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
Gen 11:9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

It appears that the world was together as one at the tower of Babel,and after that then they were scattered abroad and became different nations,and civilizations,to be able to do business with them.

I believe it is literal when the Bible says Cain dealt with crops,and Abel with animals,and if Cain would of sacrificed an animal it would of been alright.

So the moral of the story in the Old Testament is do not let your job interfere with how you sacrifice,and bring an offering to the LORD.

If you deal in crops do not bring a bushel of apples,and a dozen corn ears.

And if you are a cement worker,mason,do not bring a bag of cement,and a dozen bricks,lol.

Cain specialized in crops so part of his punishment was what he was good at would not increase for him.

So they had to sweat by their brow to provide their food,but Cain had to sweat by his brow,feet,underarms,back,his whole body dripping with sweat like Niagara Falls,yet the ground would not yield her strength,lol again.

Jesus is called many things in Scripture, and yes, Son of God is one of them, which some misunderstand, because He is God in the flesh. Mary conceived by the Holy Spirit of God, not by God have sexual intercourse with Mary as you said. That is something scoffers of the Muslim persuasion like to say.

Accurate measurements and or observations
Measurements and observations inside a closed system (universe) do not have to correspond with the real, eternal truths. It just says how rules are set to be in the system.

For example that God created the Universe.

Or that faith in Jesus Christ is a necessary condition to live eternally.

Or that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man.
